Mac Illustrator Alternatives
rentzsch:
Jon Stokes / @jonst0kes:
So the answer to my Illustrator question seems to be that there is no Pixelmator for vectors. You just have to shell out for AI.
I purchased LineForm a while back, however since Freeverse was bought out by ngmoco I doubt for its future. Here’s some other options, mostly gathered by Chris Foresman:
Artboard
DrawIt
iDraw
Intaglio
INKSCAPE

Good is the enemy of Great Latin-1 is the enemy of UTF-8
You write web apps. You understand the web is global, and want to support internationalization. You want UTF-8.
UTF-8 is extremely sane. Well, as sane as an encoding can be that features backwards-compatibility with ASCII.

Performance Calendar » PNG that works →
Lots of png format information from Kornel Lesiński, creator of ImageOptim.
You don’t have to read such a long article to use PNG properly. Quick version:
PNG works since IE4. If you’re still using GIF, you’re wasting bandwidth.
Use 256-color PNGs.
Avoid 24-bit PNGs. Use pngquant if you want to have a cake and eat it too.
Use a PNG optimizer. You’ll get smaller files and avoid some...

Fluid 1140px CSS Grid System →
jonathanmoore:
Great looking CSS grid framework by Andy Taylor that is designed for 1280px wide monitors, but scales all the way down to mobile resolutions. Don’t be surprised if this ends up in a future Style Hatch premium Tumblr theme.
Next week I’ll post more details about several of the upcoming themes that’ll be launching soon. Lots of exciting projects in the works!

rentzsch:
A common operation is “does this list already have this item in it?”.
The obvious solution is to use arrays for the list of items and indexOf() as the detection method:

Better Vimeo embeds on Tumblr
matthewb:
Vimeo offers plenty of customisation options when embedding its player, but Tumblr’s automated code generator doesn’t respect these, overwriting them with its own defaults. To fix this, I wrote a quick jQuery function to rewrite Tumblr’s default options string for all Vimeo embeds on the current page (get the ready-to-install...

Tumblr Notes Plugin Redux
matthewb:
Last year I released a plugin to display notes for any post in a Tumblr site, in much the same fashion as the Dashboard does. At the time, in order to display the notes count, the plugin had to preload all notes for every post, which was quite inefficient. In February, Tumblr added custom theme tags for notes, so here’s an updated version of the plugin I’ve been using for the past few...

Tumblr Notes Plugin
matthewb:
A new version of this plugin that uses custom tags is here.
On Friday I posted about loading Tumblr’s reblog “notes” via AJAX into a custom theme. I’ve had enough interest via email to release it as a plugin of sorts. Here’s a brief run-through of how to install it:
While logged in to Tumblr, go to the Dashboard page that lists all your posts, view its source code, and search for the...
